retooling a box of matches as a generator for a narrative to tell the story about how a portfolio case was designed

Complimenting the Surroundings // Jonathan ShafferComplimenting the Surroundings // Jonathan Shaffer

Concept: An analysis of a box of matches became a generator for a narrative about a man who went for a hike in the woods and dropped his sketchbook in a bonfire. When he went home he built a case to preserve his charred sketchbook. Ironically the case was

similar to a box of matches.

The circulation navigates through the building in a unique and memorable way; avoiding dead ends and monotony

that can be disorienting for an autistic child.

Flexible learning environments indoor and outdoors, group spaces or more private one-on-one instruction accommodate students needs.

Breakout spaces provide different learning environments and break up the interior circulation. An orientation point uses graphic symbols to help direct students to rooms.

The pedestrian bridge is a visual and literal connection between the old and new buildings that creates unique areas of circulations and congregation.
